My Z4 Coupe's 224 Boots

Post by Bluebogartlabel » Sun Jun 18, 2017 8:29 pm

With the help of Andy (Mr Wilks) I've finally got the 224's I bought last year on to my car and I couldn't be more pleased.

For anyone considering doing the same the key is the tyre sizes which are 215/45 on the front and 245/40 on the back. I think this is a size taller and a size narrower than standard. And no spacers on the front.

I've attached a few photos I took today which I hope you like and thanks again Andy for your knowledge and patience.

Wow - your car looks fantastic OP, and the wheels are a great finishing touch. :thumbsup:

Nice! But there's no real need to put narrower tyres up front or rear, stock sizes fit fine.

They look quite small in profile :? what sizes / brands are they ?
The 215 45 front gives the comfort & reduces arch gap whilst eliminating the possibility of arch rub when pressing on

Not stock sizes for 224s though & bearing in mind the offsets + wider 9j rear the 245 40 / 215 45 combo fits & looks better on non M Zs imo :wink:

Yeah they're wider but I've got no issues with rubbing and front is hardly poking out either. Plenty of space both ends.
